I'm sure they will reveal regressions, because michaelni seems to be
specifically hunting for them. When the branch gets merged, there
should be no failing fate tests, so adding such tests would hold back
the merge.

While it's normally a good thing to catch such regressions (and to fix
them before a big thing is merged), the codecpar merge has been going
on for weeks. It's holding back merging of other important features
(like vaapi encoding to name a particularly popular one), and there's a
limit to which extend we can load further work on daemon and nev.

So I suggest that such arguably less important tests/regressions are
applied and fixed later, so that merging can go on and none of the devs
have to die from stress.
